About methadone
Methadone is a long-acting opioid medicine that the FDA approves for opioid use disorder. For that use it's given only at opioid treatment programs (OTPs), clinics certified by SAMHSA under federal rules (42 CFR Part 8), along with counseling. Early in treatment most doses are taken at the clinic; the rules allow more take-home doses as treatment goes on. Medicare has paid for treatment at OTPs since 2020.

Call the program, then the member services number on your Medicaid card: most Texas Medicaid members are in a managed care health plan (STAR, STAR+PLUS, STAR Kids or STAR Health), and the program has to be in that plan's network.
